Divorce by Mutual Consent

Subject to the provisions of this Act, a petition for dissolution of marriage by a decree of divorce may be presented to the District Court by both spouses if…

they have been living separately for a period of one year or more

they have not been able to live together

they have mutually agreed that the marriage should be dissolved.

On the motion of both the parties made not earlier than six months after the date of the presentation of the petition referred to in sub-section (1) and not later than 18 months after the said date, if the petition is not withdrawn in the meantime, the court shall, on being satisfied, after hearing the parties and after making such inquiry as it thinks fit, pass a decree of divorce declaring the marriage to be dissolved.
